Let's be real: Most people suck at getting a remote job.😬 They make every mistake. Apply blindly online. Cry after rejections. Expect a quick fix. And eventually quit like losers. (Sorry, but it’s true😂🙌🏻) I know, I was one of them. Before becoming a Startup consultant living my best life in Bali. 🌴 Here are the biggest mistakes people make when wanting to start a remote job: 🔹 Applying randomly on jobs without a strategic approach. Mass applying gets you nowhere. 🔹 Underestimating networking. Your LinkedIn profile must shine bright to attract your target audience. 🎯 🔹 Using a traditional resume. Make it results-focused, impact-driven. Numbers, data, facts. 📊 🔹 Thinking remote roles aren't in their industry. Spoiler alert : Almost every industry now offers remote jobs. (Unless you’re a surgeon. And in that case I can’t believe you’re scrolling LinkedIn) 🤭 🔹 Not realizing the insane benefits. Flexibility, location independence.✈️🌍Need I say more? 🔹 Looking for a quick fix. Building a remote career takes time and effort. No shortcuts. I get it. Going remote seems complicated. But with the right strategy, mindset and skills, anyone can do it. Hit me up in DM if you need guidance. I'll mentor you for free.

Why we recruit our VA's from Nigeria Having previously managed remote staff from India and the Philippines, I've been a strong advocate of offshore teams due to their cost advantages, quality of work, and efficiency. However, I often found it challenging to coordinate calls across different time zones and encountered delays in collaboration due to ‘not in real-time’ communication. Therefore, working with remote marketing executives from Nigeria makes sense for European and North American businesses for several reasons: 1. Language proficiency: English is widely spoken in Nigeria, making our marketing executives proficient in English.
